Live in de Sint-Baafsabdij
By OLLA VOGALA

Olla Vogala depicts music, word and sound in a fascinating way. A delicacy for all who enjoy classical music, folk, jazz and world music! Several captivating stories and impressions are blended together into the style for which Olla Vogala is internationally praised. Chanson, anti-war songs, instrumental compositions influenced by traditional Arabic music and songs about the possibility/inability of love. The lyrics are written by Ludo Vandeau, taken from old Syrian text or derived from the poetry of Geert Cyriel Tavernier. This project reunites the original line-up of Olla Vogala, vocally supported by Soetkin Baptist, Elly Aerden & Ludo Vandeau, and provided an excellent opportunity to work with Syrian musician Elias Bachura. The music has been recorded live during a concert on June 22 2012 at the historical Sint-Baafs Abby in Ghent (Belgium). Olla Vogala has once again created music which is innovative in its genre. The release of the new album is accompanied by a concert tour.
